Marks & Spencer has strengthened its collaboration with Applegreen by launching two additional Click & Collect food outlets in Dunshaughlin and Cavan town.
The retailer now operates 31 food outlets within Applegreen service stations throughout Ireland.
These latest openings form part of an ambitious expansion programme announced earlier this year, which will see 20 new outlets established during 2025. Currently, there are 30 M&S Food outlets open at Applegreen locations across Ireland.
The “shop within a shop” format enables customers to access more than 400 M&S food products while also collecting online orders from the retailer’s fashion, home, and beauty ranges at convenient roadside locations.
The convenience stores stock an extensive selection of M&S products, ranging from fresh produce and prepared sandwiches to ready-made meals and confectionery.
Popular items include Percy Pig sweets, M&S cookies, and Colin the Caterpillar cakes, alongside “everyday essentials”, the supermarket told shoppers.
The Click & Collect service allows shoppers to order products online and retrieve them at their chosen Applegreen outlet during a pre-selected time window.
This contactless shopping method provides flexibility for customers travelling through these locations.

M&S“M&S is a much-loved household name, and this partnership allows us to deliver a wider range of quality products and an even better experience for our customers on the road.”
M&S established its first Irish store in 1979 and currently maintains 16 owned outlets throughout the country.

It has transformed shopping experiences for families, offering substantial savings on essential items and creating communities for new parents via weekly coffee mornings.
